Considering the injury trainwreck that Colorado has been the last couple years, I wouldn't buy too much into his stats.

He's a good 3rd liner who's very solid defensively, I'd prefer if he were a C, but it's still a solid signing for my money, my only (slight) concern is the length.

I have no problem with the signing, I just want to see more moves made....Although, I think the injury trainwreck would have played more into his favor as far as stats go rather than the opposite cause he would have been given more ice time and opportunity.

He is similar to Tootoo but I think he has more skill then Laperriere. He (Carcillo) needs to pick his spots.

anywya, we overpaid Boucher by 150K and gave an extra year to Laperriere. I want 3rd line center. I do not want to see Giroux playing 3rd lince center. He shoudl get Parise type of development. No pressure on Parise.

Nah he still played 3rd line minutes, I think he probably played them with pretty crappy players though.

I'm very disappointed that Carle hasn't been traded yet tbh, the flexibility that could give us would be awesome.

6 of those game in the last 2 games of the 2007 season. The offensive numbers for Carcillo are clearly bloated.

Ian Laperriere had 21 goals 3 years ago, are we expecting that from him?

Lappy is 35 years old, Carcillo is 24. Not a fair comparison.

Players typically end up where they are supposed to be at the end of the season, regardless of when they scored goals. Look at Hartnell two years ago, didnt do squat the entire first half of the season and still ended up around where he was always at.

Just wait until we see what Upshall signs for. It will be nowhere near 1.17/yr.

Laperriere has played just under 14 minutes a game for the last 3 seasons and over 17 minutes a game the season before that. To compare Asham played just under 9 minutes a game, Carcillo played 10 mins a game for philly and 12 on the third line for Phoenix.

Laperriere to me seems like he was brought in to play at least some time on the third line.

4th liners dont play anywhere near 14 mins a game.

Is that even strength time, or total ice time??? A lot of that could have been PK time....

He is 35 years old, and a guy who has palyed his ass off night in and night out for years.....regardless of what he did the past couple years his numbers are going on the downside, not up If this signing was 2-3 years ago I would have said definite 3rd liner....Now, I rather see Carcillo on the third line and Lappy with Asham on the 4th.

It also depends on how they structure their lines. If the 3rd line is more of a defensive line, he isnt putting up much more than that, if it includes one of Carter/Richards/Grioux....maybe.
